Multipolypoid intussusceptum: a distinctive appearance of ileoileocolic intussusception at the ileocecal valve.
Objective. To determine whether ileoileocolic intussusception can be diagnosed by a distinctive appearance during pneumatic reduction. Materials and methods. ⋯ In contrast to the ileoileocolic intussusceptums, these intussusceptums were either smoothly marginated (16 patients) or slightly lobular (three patients). Conclusion. In most patients with ileoileocolic intussusception, the intussusceptum has two or more polypoid components at the level of the ileocecal valve which are easily distinguished from the smoothly marginated or slightly lobular intussusceptum seen with ileocolic intussusception.
